Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the MAC CE comprises receiving the MAC CE via a broadcast or a unicast transmission.

4

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the time to alter the configuration of the UE is identified further based at least in part on a stored configuration.

6

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the time to alter the configuration of the UE is identified further based at least in part on an absolute time indicator.

7

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the MAC CE includes information identifying the absolute time indicator.

8

8. The method of claim 6, wherein the absolute time indicator is at least one of a system frame number, a slot number, or a set of least significant bits of the system frame number.

10

10. The method of claim 6, wherein the absolute time indicator identifies a value for a coordinated universal time.

12

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the at least one RNTI includes at least one of a group RNTI or a cell RNTI.

13

13. The method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting a physical uplink control channel for a multimedia broadcast multicast service point to multipoint radio bearer to indicate that the command is implemented.

14

14. The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the MAC CE comprises receiving the MAC CE via a unicast transmission, and wherein the time to alter the configuration of the UE is identified further based at least in part on the unicast transmission.

16

16. The UE of claim 15, wherein the one or more processors are configured to receive the MAC CE via a broadcast or a unicast transmission.

18

18. The UE of claim 15, wherein the time to alter the configuration of the UE is identified further based at least in part on a stored configuration.

20

20. The UE of claim 15, wherein the time to alter the configuration of the UE is identified further based at least in part on an absolute time indicator.

21

21. The UE of claim 20, wherein the MAC CE includes information identifying the absolute time indicator.

22

22. The UE of claim 20, wherein the absolute time indicator is at least one of a system frame number, a slot number, or a set of least significant bits of the system frame number.

24

24. The UE of claim 20, wherein the absolute time indicator identifies a value for a coordinated universal time.

26

26. The UE of claim 25, wherein the at least one RNTI includes at least one of a group RNTI or a cell RNTI.

27

27. The UE of claim 15, wherein the information identifying the delay is an offset parameter.

28

28. The UE of claim 15, wherein the time to alter the configuration of the UE is identified further based at least in part on a slot number.
